Changes in Life

Philex Mining Corporation was born in July 1955. Most Philexians assume that the first ton of ore was mined in the same year. However, the 1st 2 years of the company was mainly concentrated on the exploration activities and mine development in the field and paper works in Manila. About 9,000 feet of diamond drill cores and 1,530 feet of auditing/crosscuts outlined the Sto. Tomas II ore body measuring 400 feet by 1,000 feet by 600 feet depth with 18 million tons mineable reserve. A portion of thaty reserve was extractable via open pit method. The Padcal Mill (now the area occupied by the Mine Engineering/ Safety, Administration, Security, Padcal Time Keeping, Corehouse and Adjacent buildings) was constructed by1957 to initially process 2,000 tons ore daily.
